POISON CAUSED
THE BOY'S DEATH
How lie Obtained It Is Still a Most
Profound Alystcry.
COUNTY DETECTIVE CALLED IN
lie Will Knilcnvor to I'lml 'Out How
tlii! Arsenic Ciimo into the Posses
sion of tliu Hoys--Vonng Diivls Is
Out of l)nngor--Ho Suys Tlint
Neither olTliein Ate Ail) thin While
They Worn lit the Itottch House.
There Is no doubt that the death of
the Uongle hoy on Sunday near liond
liain and the serious Illness of the Davis
boy was caused by poison. This was
Indicated by a post-mortem examina
tion of the Inidy of young Beagle by
Coroner Longstreet yesterday.
The coroner went to "World's 13 nd,"
the locality where the poisoning oc
curred near Hdndhain, Impanelled a
Jury and performed the post-mortem,
assisted by Dr. Pennypackor, deputy
coroner; Dr. Stogner, of Kendhum, wlio
was called to attend both the boys
Sunday, and Dr. Weston, of West Pitts
ton, who wns sent for yesterday for
consultation on the ease of the Davit
boy who is now out of danger, young
Henglo and Davis on Sunday visited
the house of John Itottch and on their
return home became violently HI. It
was at the Hottch house that young
Almlra Hndsall died two weeks ago
front the effects of arsenical poisoning.
KVIDKNCK OV POISON.
The stomach and Intestines of the
Heugle lad gave plain evidence of toxic
gnstru which Is due to poisoning from
some irritating substance like arsenic.
Those organs were removed anil
bi ought to Seranton for analysis by
Chemist Benjamin. After Impannellng
the Jury the Inquest was continued un
til January 18 In order to ascertain the
result of the analysis and give County
Deteeelve Leyshon time to work on
the case.
The source of the pol3on remains a
mystery. Young Davis, who Is but 7
years old, maintains that neither he nor
Heagle ate or drank from the time
they left home until they returned.
The excitement during the successful
elfort to save his life confused hitn,
however, and he may be able to give
some clue later.
It was due to his mother by the way
that he didn't die. Before the doctor
arrived she forced him to drink alto
gether a gallon of new milk which
produced frequent and intermittent
vomiting. Milk is by substance, too, a
good arsenic antidote.
COVEH ON THE SPUING.
The spring near the Itottch house and
out ol which It was thought the buys
might have drank poisoned water has
a locked cover on It.
Mrs. Hottch found near the road In
front of the house yesterday morning
a box containing a number of "Frog-In-Your-Throat"
tablets. The coroner
took possession of It and the box and
tablets will be analyzed.
UNION MISSIONARY MEETINGS.
Pastors Union of the City Decides to
Hold Them.
The Pastors' union met yesterday
morning Jn the parlors of the Young
Men's Christian association, Rev. J. P.
Moft'att being absent. Dr. S. C. Logan
was elected chairman of the meeting
and conducted devotional exercises.
The secretary, Rev. William Edgar,
announced the theme which had been
suggested for discussion. Upon mo
tion It was decided to postpone the dis
cussion of that subject until a later
date.
This being the week of prayer, the
ministers decided to discuss the advis
ability of observing it. All who spoke
on this subject thought great spiritual
uplift could be realized by unitedly ob
serving the week of prayer.
Dr. McLeod read a circular letter
which had been sent to ministers of all
denominations. This circular letter
was a call for simultaneous missionary
meetings throughout the United States
and Canada. The call was Issued by
missionary secretaries and other rep
resentative olliclals who represent the
largest evangelical churches In the
United States and Canada. Twenty
seven churches and societies unite in
Issuing the cull. The ministers pres
ent yesterday morning expressed them
selves freely on the subject. There was
unanimous sentiment In favor of such
meetings. They thoutlht one or more
union missionary meetings should be
held in the near future. These meet
ings to be educational In their charac
ter rather than for purpose of raising
money. As a result of the discussion
it wus decided to appoint a committee
of fourteen with power to act. ,
The Pastors' union elected seven min
isters who have power to select seven
laymen to so-operate with them. The
ministers chosen were Rev. James J.
McLeod, D. D., Rev. J. G. Eekman, D.
D Rev. Joseph Dixon, D. D., Rev. S.
C. Logan, D. D., Rev. C. M. Gillln, D.
D., Rev. Thomas Bell and Rev. E. L.
Miller. A meeting will be called at
once to take action In reference to these
meetings. .

AMUSEMENTS.
Wednesday and Thursday evening "The
Heart of Chicago" will be produced at the
Academy of Music. The drama Is by Lin
coln .1. Carter, and In the railroad scene
a seemlimlv Impossible feat In stage effect
has been accomplished, the approach of a
train head on glowing larger and larger
as It appears in full view Of the audience
from a mere speck In the horizon, until nt
last when tho audience is almost wild with
the excitement of the situation, the full
sized locomotive stops ut the footlights.
Tho Illusion Is perfect, at the beginning
of the act a beautiful and realistic scene
Is shown, with tho track In perfect per
spective running back apparently four
miles until It Is lost In the distance.
One of the really novel and successful
plays of the past season Is "Shaft No.
L'," which will be seen at the Frothlng
hnm for a single performance next
Thursday evening. It Is under the di
rection of Manager Jacob Lltt and Is
equipped with magnificent scenery and
many new mechanical devices. It Is apt
ly enough called an electrical melodrama,
for electricity plays an Important part In
It. The story is highly Interesting. Tho
storm scone In the third act Is admirably
realistic and Is said to ho one of tho
grandest and most thrilling spectacles
ever seen on tho stage.
The great play, "On the Mississippi,"
which portrays a type of life familiar In
thn southern states during that period
Immediately after the war, is announced
for appearance In this city. The scenes
are laid where life has more color ami
plcturesqueness than It has In any other
section of this country. It Is said that
each act is crowded with Incidents that
are not only characteristic of Southern
life, but are very Interesting In them
selves. A performance In a floating thea
ter, an attack of a Jail and many events
In town and country, by river and moun
tain, 1111 out a drama that Is strikingly
effective. The play will bo presented at
the Academy of Music Friday and Sat
urday next.
